Hi Volks,

There is a typo in my previous message which quotestwo different prices
for EveryBus. The correct price is $16/night.


EveryBus is a bit cheaper for us Canadians this year because of the
exchange rate. It was $22.80CDN per bus in 2003, and is only $20.95CDN
per bus for 2004.

However.... If  you're looking for a bargain campout, I can't help but
recommend Buses Of The Corn. We hold the event in a low-overhead
Conservation Area campground, and then the price is further subsidized
by our good friends at www.GermanSupply.com. Camping fees and Cornroast
are included for $15/weekend.

see http://www.geocities.com/busesofthecorn for more details.


Happy trails,
